Shiregreen Chinese takeaways

[Wildcat 10]

Why are the Chinese takeaways in Shiregreen so good?

 

Hong Kong House and the Jade House in particular are both superb, but every chinese I have had around here have been far better than those I have had in town or in West Sheffield.

 

It is not like there is any noticeable chinese community that you ever see outside of the takeaways themselves.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

The food from Hong Kong House is routinely good. The delivery time is about 30 - 45 minutes, suggesting that, by and large, the grub is cooked after being ordered rather than pre-cooked.

 

Haven't tried Jade House yet. I will if it gets enough thumbs-ups.

I was ill after stuff from jade house and the food was swimming in grease.

I prefer wonderful on nethershire lane.

I don't like Jade House much, but I'm a veggie. Meat eaters may have different views.

I haven't tried Wonderful in a while, I might dig out a menu for the weekend

 

I like the range you get from the Jade house. I have never had a problem with their food.

 

I had their dragon wrapped prawns yesterday and they were good.

Has anyone tried Sizzling Wok? Its next door to Wonderful on Nethershire lane.

Isn`t that shop that used to be smithies going to be a takeaway of some kind?

I`ve never had a problem with jade house.

Yes, it has a smaller range than wonderful. The rice is whiter and I think its intention is to be healthier, (in that I think it uses less MSG?)

 

There is certainly a difference between the two. I like them both in different ways.

I once ordered from Jade House and it took ages to come - about 1 and half hours, we had to call back twice and when it did come it wasn't all that, never used them since, though this was about 3 years ago. I tend to use China Wok on Herries Rd (near tesco) or flying dragon (ecclesfield) though last time I used flying dragon there curry sauce tasted like hot water! How Wing Loy is by far the best chinese I've tasted (pitsmoor) only they don't deliver, shame.
